Abstract

The present studies were conducted in the field of the department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, during the crop season 2008-2009. The higher estimate of heritability was found for plant height while genetic advance for number of pods per plant. Correlation studies showed that biomass per plant, number of pods per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, number of seeds per pod and 100-seed weight were positive and significant at genotypic level but positive and highly significant at phenotypic level. Higher direct effects were found for number of days taken to flowering and maturity, biomass per plant and 100-seed weight on grain yield per plant. It was concluded that selection can be made on the basis of number of grains per plant, 100-seed weight and grain yield per plant.
